bbPress comes with such a script. Download the software, fill in the details of you database connection in config.php, and when you first browse to your forum’s URL, you’ll be taken through the installation procedure

I’ve try in my local machine.

After first run (user convention) it caused an error and table remain with *_tmp in name (now i not remember specific error – tomorrow i’ll try to run again and publish more detail).

Instead if i go directly to forum all seems to be converted (no error) but all topics (first post) is empty and to see i need to save again (forum and topic – otherwise i can’t see – yes, i’ve run recount but problem still remain). Finally, all category results like a “forum” (and all forums like child forum).

If you glad tomorrow (sorry but now i can’t) i can provide localserver access and you can try directly

DarkWolf.it: Can you describe the problems you faced in this topic? – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-standalone-to-plugin-converter-beta-2

@Gautam: ok

PS: I’ve try converter (in trunk) but i’ve found many problem with it (is in trunk – maybe you already know all – i don’t know).

Anyway, i hope in a future plugin to convert topic (with replies) in wordpress articles (with comments). It’s very important for a good conversion of my actual website.

Hello folks,

I along with Ben L. aka Nightgunner5, have created a bbPress standalone to plugin converter which already does a good job converting your bbPress forums.

To use it, upload the file bbs2p.php to your server. Now let us assume that / is the place where you have placed the script, /blog/ is the WordPress directory and /forum/ is the bbPress standalone directory. So, you would edit bbs2p.php, scroll down to line 36 and change

define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', '../forum/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

To:

define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', 'blog/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', 'forum/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

Similarly, if you have script and WordPress blog in / and the forum in /forums/, then change those lines to:

define( 'BBS2P_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( 'BBS2P_BB_PATH', 'forums/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

Then run the script and the converter would guide you. Some points to note:

• Needless to mention, if it isn’t your test run, please have a backup. We cannot be held responsible for any data loss.
• Run it on your localhost as the converter is heavy.
• Supports the Subscribe to Topic plugin by _ck_ and bbPress 1.1 alpha+ subscriptions import too. Have that plugin activated if you want to migrate subscriptions from the plugin, else it will check for the alpha version.
• Have the bbPress plugin activated, revert to default themes and disable any other plugins.
• Currently, there are three situations:

  1. You have a new WordPress blog, to which you are migrating to and an established forum. Then, you would go to user migration section first and then proceed to forums, topics, posts migration section. In this process, all your WordPress users would be deleted (well, renamed to another table) and in place of those, bbPress users would be added. A keymaster will be WP admin, bb admin and moderator will be bbPress plugin moderators, rest all would be converted to the default WP role (which can be set in your WordPress settings).
  2. Your WordPress and bbPress user tables are integrated. You don’t need the user migration process and you can directly go to forums, topics, posts migration section. No worries.
  3. You have a established WordPress blog, with a good number of users and can’t afford to lose those. This is currently not supported as it is hard to merge two conflicting user sets.

• After converting, do recounts, delete the script and delete the bbPress standalone section if not needed.

Cheers! Hope that helps.

ps. Special thanks to John James J. for developing the bbPress plugin, without which, of course, this converter wouldn’t have been there.

Have you installed that WordPress plugin for cookie integration and edited your wp-config.php as needed?

Hey guys love the new plugin. Can anyone shed some light on how to use all of the existing bbpress addons, plugins, etc with the wordpress version of this? Thanks.

[Anonymous User 7670885]

Hi, I know that there’s a lot of topics about integration and I tried to find something that could helped for but I haven’t found.

I have integrated bbPress and looks like everything works fine. I can login with my WP account on bbPress.

But if I login to my website I need to login again when I go to forum.

So is it possible to make that when I log in WP it would automatically log me in bbPress?

[GYNGA]

Did you try to install that plugin?

It restores settings so that you can get to your bbPress admin page again.

And then you can set necessary bbPress settings.

P.S. When you install and activate the plugin try to login to bbPress with BOTH of your accounts (WP account and bbPress account). I don’t remember which worked for me.

I keep having to use the plugin over and over.

Someone said to fix it in the mySQL phpmyadmin stuff.

I need a step by step guide.

Halp?

[AAShepAA]

I am installed – can send and receive PM’s but the messages are blank – no text.

I have gone into the database and the PM’s are in the database.

Everything is up to date (theme, bbPress, and plugin.) Theme is MT-Dark

Any help is appreciated

Gautam Gupta and Nightgunner5 have made a script for moving bbPress standalone to bbPress plugin. Its available here.

http://code.google.com/p/bbpress-standalone-to-plugin/

Though, an importer will be bundled with the bbPress plugin in the stable release AFAIK.

[justmichael2]

Umm, I can’t get to the bbPress admin page, that’s the whole problem
